Mia Freedman on letting go
Hi, everyone!
Today, we sit down with Mia Freedman, the co-founder of media juggernaut Mamamia. Mia likely needs no introduction; she’s taken her knack for knowing women—who they are and what they want—and turned it into an empire.
In today’s conversation, Mia speaks about her life outside of running Mamamia. She shares her need for social rest, the rule that helps her recharge after the intense demands of leading a business, the relic that reminds her of a deep loss she holds close to her heart—and the moment she was diagnosed with ADHD later on in life.

Annabelle Lee on not keeping secrets
Hello, everyone!
Today, Ruby sits down with Annabelle Lee, one of the most well-known faces at Shameless Media. Annabelle is the on-air producer for Shameless Podcast and co-hosts Everybody Has a Secret. But that’s only one part of her rich and colourful life.
In this episode, you’ll hear a side of Annabelle you maybe haven’t heard before. Here, she opens up about her childhood, her family, and what happens when you bottle up pain instead of sharing it with the people you trust. Our audience absolutely adores Annabelle, and we think this conversation will provide further proof as to why that’s the case.

Jess Fox on being Australia's golden girl
Hello! Welcome to episode one of Inherited.
What if we redefined the word “inheritance”? What we inherit in this lifetime stretches far beyond money. From the moment we’re born, we’re being shaped by Recipes, Rules, Relics and Rituals that we pick up along the way.
Today, we sit down with Olympic gold medalist Jessica Fox, also known as one of Australia’s most decorated Olympians. We all eagerly watched Jess give it her all at the 2024 Paris Olympics to claim the ultimate victory. But what Jess Fox has inherited is so much more than Gold medals.
In this chat, Ruby spoke to Jess about her love and unwavering respect for her little sister Noémie, how she struggles with self-criticism and pressure, and the importance of soldiering on - and keeping it together - when things were shaky in the lead up to the biggest moment of her life.
